Section 5: Fire Fighting Measures
Flash Point: 12.0°C ( DIN 51755, Part 1)
Flammable Limits: Lower: 1.3% Vol. Upper: 19.0% Vol.
Auto-ignition point: ND
Fire Extinguishing Media: Water spray or mist (DO NOT use water full jet), special
quenching powder, quenching foam (use large amounts of foam as it will be partially
destroyed), carbon dioxide.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards: Danger of explosion with fire.
Hazardous combustion products: Do not inhale explosive gases or smoke fumes: carbon
dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides.
DOT Class: Flammable
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled: Remove all sources of ignition
if safe to do so. Keep person at a distance and stay away from fumes. Wear personal
protective equipment (see Section 8). Absorb with liquid-binding material (sand,
infusorial earth inert absorbent). If you feel unwell, seek medical advice immediately.
Prevent penetration into soil, stretches of water and drainage systems.
Waste Disposal Methods: Dispose of waste according to Federal, State and Local
Regulations.
Section 7: Handling and Storage
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: The product should be handled by
trained personnel. Keep container tightly closed and store in a dry, well-ventilated place.
Ensure suitable suction/aeration at the work place and with operational machinery (Fume
hood). Highly volatile substances may be released during processing, therefore avoided
sources of ignition. Do not empty into drains. No smoking. Avoid exposure. Obtain
special instructions before use. If there is a danger of exceeding the explosion limits, keep
container tightly closed and store in a dry, well-ventilated place. Take precautionary
measure against static discharges. Product is slightly water-polluting.
Storage temperature: Room temperature.
Storage Pressure: ND
Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls
Ventilation required: Use in fume hood.
Personal Protection Equipment
Respiratory protection: Use in a well ventilated area.
Protective gloves: Wear protective glove of solvent resistant material (if handling large
amounts).
Skin protection: Preventative skin protection.
Eye protection: Wear safety goggles with side shield (if handling large amounts).
Additional clothing and/or equipment: NIF
